September Sweetness

September Sweetness (2008) is a site-specific installation created for the Singapore Biennale. The pagoda structure is based upon several historical styles and is constructed entirely from 5.5 tons of granulated sugar. The structure will erode over the duration of the exhibition, signifying the same erosion of hope for an improved life for the people of Myanmar. Conceived and co-developed by Richard Streitmatter-Tran and Chaw Ei Thein with assistance from Tung Mai and Aung Ko.
